IEEE Canada is a Supporting Partner of CPES2017, Canada’s premier conference and trade show exhibition for printable, flexible and wearable electronics (PE). In recognition of this partnership support, the CPES organizing committee is extending a special offer to IEEE members.

Date: May 24-26, 2017

Location: Centennial College, Toronto

Using the coupon code cpeia-partner2017b IEEE members can register for CPES at 15 per cent off the regular non-CPEIA member rate of $795 + HST. This represents a value of $119. The deadline to use this code and secure the discount is April 28, 2017.

This is a great opportunity to engage with the technology developers and integrators that are accelerating the growth and adoption of PE in various market verticals that are relevant to Canadian industry and technology clusters across the country.

Please note that this offer cannot be combined with the CPES2017 early bird registration rate or the student rate. It only applies to Day 1 and Day 2 of the conference. If you wish to attend the Master Classes or Mentoring & Financing Sessions on Day 3, you must pay the regular fee for those activities.

CPES2017 is the place for technology developers, industrial companies and end-users to meet and discuss how they can work together to commercialize new products and applications for printable, flexible and wearable electronics. Academic researchers can discover how they can link their research to market needs and opportunities. The conference focuses on markets such as Intelligent Packaging, Intelligent Buildings, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive and Industrial Applications, Health and Wellness, Intelligent Documents, and Consumer Electronics and Wearables.

Advanced Manufacturing Canada (AMC) is bringing industry, government and academia together for a two-day conference and exhibition focused on fostering a national dialogue about how the manufacturing community can leverage Advanced Manufacturing to stimulate innovation, increase productivity, and compete in the global marketplace now and into the future.

AMC is bringing the brightest minds, the latest technologies, and the businesses that need them together to continue the conversations and provide the solutions focused on the topics and technologies – automation and robotics, automation economics, additive manufacturing, and workforce development – that will shape the future of manufacturing.

Interesting presentations on protection, control and automation shall be presented by 15 Industry Experts. Two of the presenters are IEEE Fellows—Wanda Reder who is Chief Strategy Officer of S&C Electric and past President of IEEE PES, and Alex Apostolov who is Editor in Chief of PAC World Magazine and an industry expert on Protection, Automation, and Control. The symposium also aims to provide a platform so participants can share their knowledge and experiences on the latest developments and trends of the power industry. One of the highlights of the conference will be a tour of GE Energy’s Grid IQTM Global Innovation Center in Markham.

IEEE N3XT Conference includes a full day program, 3 education tracks and a startup showcase. Featured speakers include Peter Shankman of ShankMinds, Zenas Hucheson of Vesbridge, and Lynette Kucsma of Natural Machines. See http://ewh.ieee.org/ieee/n3xt/ for details & registration.

October 26th, 2015 – EPEC2015 is an opportunity for electric power and energy systems experts from industry, academia, and other interested organizations to discuss the latest developments in the field: academic and industrial research, industrial/business trends and challenges. This may include debate on the potential impact of these developments including discussions on regulatory and policy aspects. The conference provides an international forum for the presentation of peer-reviewed power and energy research and development.

Electrical Power and Energy Conference Technical Tutorials now open for Registration:

1. Power Flow Controllers

Kalyan K. Sen, Chief Technology Officer, Sen Engineering Solutions

Session features a high-level overview of various power flow controllers and their features including voltage regulating transformers, phase angle regulators, shunt inductor/capacitor, and series inductor/capacitor, and Voltage-Sourced Converters (VSC).

The presentation will be of particular interest to all utility power engineering professionals with familiarity in power engineering terminology. The audience will hear from an expert who actually designed and commissioned a number of power electronics-based FACTS controllers.

2. Developments in HVDC and FACTS for Power Transmission Grids

Ervin Spahic, Head of Future Technologies, Siemens
Jörg Dorn, Head of R&D, Technology and Innovation, Siemens

This tutorial will reveal trends in Europe related to nuclear generator phase out and Integration of renewables. Technology, theory and applications related to high voltage DC transmission and experience from actual projects in Canada and USA.

This session is for transmission system operators, grid developers, consulting companies, universities and others interested in related new technologies.

The target audience for this session is engineers from utilities and local distribution companies, managers and policy analysts, and university graduate students.

4. Grid Security

Doug Houseman, Vice President of Innovation and Technology, EnerNex

From NERC CIP to Privacy Regulation, security is becoming a mandated item on the grid. For more than 100 years most people respected the electric grid and left it alone, feeling that it was a shared public resource that needed to be provided. Now with the advent of Cyber warfare, home grown terrorists, black mail hackers, and others the grid needs protection. Not just cyber security but physical security as well.

The target audience for this session is engineers from utilities and local distribution companies, managers and policy analysts, and university graduate students

5. Smart Fault Monitoring and Protection

Amir Mojtahed, Managing Director, Bender Canada Ltd.

This session is a comprehensive introduction to the electrical power considerations in Electrical Safety. It covers grounding, fault current, ground fault monitoring and protection systems, smart protection in grounded system (HRG and solidly) and power quality applications and solutions.

At the end of the presentation, people will have better understanding of ground faults in AC/DC systems and how to deal with these issues.

6. Smart Grid Lab

This tutorial examines aspects of the smart distribution network and focuses on illustrating benefits of advanced distribution management system (ADMS) that provides intelligence, a layer above the conventional SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition). The tutorial also illustrates a smart grid laboratory facility built at Ryerson as a path for process that enables smart grid technologies and its use in distribution systems.

This session is designed for academic professors, researchers and students, utility engineers and administrators as well as facility managers and architects.
